    I'd have to really read on this. But I feel like a lot of arguments against china always boil down to comparisons to the soviet union. They are two very different beasts. I will read through this at work and maybe revise my opinion

    Edit: I don't think I agree with this. It feels like the sole focus is put on "here's what china did" and "here's what the soviet union did". I probably can't directly argue about what's been said but I will research some more and put my thoughts down.
